Sponsorship Opportunities
This unique event will feature guest chef Nyesha Arrington, who will collaborate with Executive Pastry Chef Casey Shiller, St. Louis Community College—Forest Park Two-time winner of the Food Network’s ‘Cupcake Wars’), along with students from the college’s highly acclaimed Culinary Arts program, to prepare a remarkable meal that you and your guests will truly enjoy!
A graduate of the Culinary School at the Art Institute of California in Los Angeles, Arrington forged her culinary career at Michelin-starred restaurants under direction from revered chefs including Joel Robuchon and Josiah Citrin. Following her stints in kitchens such as L'Atelier, The Mansion, Spice Mill, Melisse and The Wilshire, Arrington went on to open two proprietary concepts with Venice's beachside haven Leona in 2015 and Santa Monica's Native in 2017, both placed on the late Jonathan Gold's iconic "101 Best Restaurants in Los Angeles" list. Arrington has also been recognized as a Rising Star by James Beard Award-winning critic Brad Johnson from Angeleno, Chef of the Year by Eater LA and a Zagat "30 Under 30" recipient in Los Angeles.
Arrington has appeared as a contestant on reality cooking shows such as "Chef Hunter" on Food Network. Not only was she a contestant on Bravo's "Top Chef' and Esquire Network's "Knife Fight;" but Arrington later returned as a guest chef judge on both shows. Current projects include: YouTube series "Plateworthy" on Eater, for which Arrington hosts, a recurring judge on "Chopped Next Gen" with Discovery+, and a featured judge alongside Chef Gordon Ramsay on the new show "Next Level Chef' on FOX.
Arrington's greatest enthusiasm will always be to champion her community and create "Food that Hugs the Soul." She continues to innovate and draw inspiration from her vibrant cultural background and French-technique while upholding her mission to spread the message of love through food, using every plate as a new journey of Discovery.
All proceeds from the Falling in Love in Five Courses Gala help support St. Louis Community College students and programs.
